    Wow! This is a great place! I was in Iowa City for a week and found Barre 3 on Google. There was a special for 3 classes in one week which was perfect for me. Everyone from the receptionist to the teachers to the participants were very friendly. The space is very clean and welcoming. I would recommend this place no matter how long you’re in Iowa City.

    As a (pregnant) physical therapist I can both personally and professionally recommend Barre3 to patients and friends! The classes are thoughtful, instructors are kind and well educated, and the workouts are customizable to almost every phase of life, rehabilitation status, or physical ability. I’m so glad to have Barre3 in our community!

    I am incredibly thankful for all that barre3 brings to the Iowa City community. Through workouts that are challenging yet full of modifications for every person in the room, clients like me feel stronger both physically and mentally and ready to live our days with clarity and focus. All employees at the barre3 studio are welcoming and friendly, the studio itself is clean and filled with natural light, the owner and instructors are kind, encouraging, and have become friends. The music is so fun! It literally took me years to gather the courage to walk through barre3's doors, and while I wish I had done it sooner, I'm so glad I did. barre3 and its people have made my life better.

    I absolutely LOVE Barre3 Iowa City!! The workouts help build strength, balance, and endurance needed for a healthy lifestyle and remaining independent as we grow older. There is no focus on the way you look, losing weight, or comparisons to others. What makes this studio truly special is the community. The Barre3 instructors inspire me with their motivating words and kindness—it’s friendship, support, and a shared commitment to showing up for ourselves and each other. The workouts are challenging and I always leave feeling stronger, happier, and looking forward to the next class! Maureen, the owner, is such an amazing person whose commitment to her clients and community is her top priority. If you’re looking for a place that strengthens the body and the mind and gives you a sense of community, this is the place for you!! Also a variety of classes to choose from. I have been a member since they opened 6 years ago and it is well worth the investment! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
